Ayuda Social / social help

While we’re in the midst of all this emergency aid, Tacuati has also coincidentally been recognized by the national dept of social services as one of the poorest districts in the department of San Pedro. The meeting that I missed last week was to explain how over 100 families will be receiving a direct stipend from the state and how a bunch of people will be hired for a period of six months to monitor the distribution to families. It’s a very open process and strictly non-partisan. Hopefully it’ll be a good model of how a non-political project can function here to get help to the people that need it.
